It's an amazing day out with kids, family and friends. Lots of macaw friendly and says hello. Woodland walks is amazing we just loved it.. also has nice cafe and play area for everyone.. we would love to go back again 💛🐟🕊🐦🦃🦆🦉🌳🌼

Amazing place, we were amazed that the birds were so friendly and allowed to fly freely. As soon as I entered the park I had a bird land on my shoulder and he stayed there for at least 20 minutes while we wondered about. The kids loved it here as well especially the last area where all the parrots etc can land on you and feed. Incredible place will be back next year for sure.

If you are bird man like myself - although we are a dying breed these days it has to be said - then this is the place for you! I was particularly fortunate in having a free weekday (all the kids were at school) so had the birds all to myself... just the way I like it!

It was quite a refreshing change to see so many lovely looking birds in one place, with so much intelligence and all so friendly and eager to flock around me. They are clearly being looked after and well trained, which is more than I can say about most birds I've encountered.

The best bit was at the end, when I had 3 birds on me all at once. This was all my own fault after I whipped out my peanuts and then the mayhem ensued... One was nibbling around my neck, the other was stroking and pulling on my hair while the third was busy playing with my zip (on my jacket). I could sense a few of the other birds were ready jump in but there simply wasn't any space. I think my zip may well have broke during all the action come to think of it, but it was well worth it. Quality birds are worth such sacrifices in life!

Overall: Absolutely amazing!!! You will have the time of your life and for under a £10er its a good value day out. It's a bit "in the middle of nowhere" but well worth it nonetheless.

NOTE: wear old shoes and clothes because these birds don't hold back !!

Tropical Birdland is a place to visit for age group be toddlers and grandparents I know or have not heard of any other place like it. And making more unique is some areas the birds are free with everyone enjoying feeding and seeing many can be handled with some of birds landing on people. What a great day out!

Fantastic day out. Really enjoy being able to handle the birds ( on their terms of course )
Really nice to not have to put your fingers through bars to fuss them. The restaurant is good and the food is nice and good value. Staff are great and will answer any questions. Well worth a visit and isn't expensive.

Had a really good day with our primary school. Our guide was excellent. She took lots of time sharing her knowledge with us & letting the children have their photos taken with various birds. Birdland is well laid out with stunning birds to feed & handle.

Brilliant place to visit for all ages ! The ability to be able to buy bird food was excellent and was good value ! Be aware, some birds damage clothes - I lost a button on my shirt and my partner received a beak hole in her top. This was no big issue at all. Overall a great day !

Had a great time. Took both granddaughters for the day and really enjoyed the experience. They liked the budgies the best whereas I struck up better relationships with the McCaws. Food was average. I think possibly they could make more of the restaurant with a bit of investment, but couldn't fault the children's play area. All in all a highly recommended day out ideal for the whole family.

My 15-month-old absolutely loved this place! He is fascinated by birds and was able to get really close to many different species here. The enclosures were generally a reasonable size and clean but I always find captive birds very sad, even free ranging birds with clipped flight feathers, so this was the most generous star rating I felt comfortable with.

If you love birds you have to visit Tropical Birdland! Lots of different types of birds if you look up into the trees you'll probably see a Macaw! It's not a massive place but plenty of birds to see, there is also a small woodland walk. You can purchase food on entry so you can feed any of the birds whilst walking around. There's a restaurant and outdoor seating area if you've brought your own food with a kids play area. There's an outdoor area where macaws, parrots, parakeets etc are out in the open. You can go up to them and pick them up ( if they let you!) stroke them and feed them. If you're wearing jewellery or shirts or tops with buttons on watch out as they like to pull them off or peck at your jewellery!

Lovely little afternoon out. Not too expensive for a family outing and you can buy food for the birds, with opportunities to get up close and even have them sitting on you. Helped my daughter become less nervous of birds. Nice cafe and gift shop.

Fantastic time had by all the family, spent a good few hours wandering around feeding the birds. Amazing experience having the parrots roaming free and walking onto your arm/head...be careful though, they like to destroy buttons, zips, poppers etc! Cafe on site is run by friendly staff and the prices are very reasonable.

User

A nice, small attraction. Fun to feed the birds (the ones who were willing to eat anyway).

More staff to help getting a bird on/off mine or my daughter's shoulder would have been nice.

User

I very much enjoyed my visit here. Lots of birds you can interact with.
Do buy them food so you can meet the birds.
At the end, the parrots are great fun and will happily sit on your shoulder.
Beware, they will take earnings and buttons. Interestingly they will undo earnings before pulling them out!
